Abstract

The average face model has been used to correct the reconstructed results of the classical photometric stereo. By fusing the low frequency of the average face model and the results of photometric stereo, the accuracy of the face three dimensional shape has been largely improved. Moreover the results of the proposed method are more robust under different lighting conditions than those of the classical photometric stereo.
